PowerColor DEVIL13 HD7990 Video Card Review

HardOCP posted a review on the PowerColor DEVIL13 HD7990 Video Card
Once in a while a video card comes along, that despite its price, makes you want to have it your system as a hardware or gaming enthusiast. The new PowerColor DEVIL13 HD7990 (part number: AX7990 6GBD5-A2DHJ) is one of those video cards.
Despite the "HD7990" in the product name, this is not what people would assume would be AMD's official dual-GPU 7970 on a single printed circuit board (PCB) video card called the HD 7990. The DEVIL13 is a custom built video card designed and manufactured by PowerColor that brings a unique product to the market place that did not exist before. While AMD has not provided any official information or even a hint of a dual-GPU video card to combat the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690, PowerColor has come along and filled this gap and beat AMD to the punch.
The PowerColor DEVIL13 HD7990 is a single video card, one printed circuit board containing two Radeon HD 7970 GPUs on board along with 3GB of memory per GPU. This is essentially Radeon HD 7970 CrossFireX in a single video card package, instead of two separate video cards. If AMD were to come along with a solution such as this, as it has done in the past, it makes sense it would be called the Radeon HD 7990, based on past product names. However, PowerColor has built its own "HD7990" and branded it the "DEVIL13."
